Former Dynamo Kyiv football player Andriy Kanchelskis, who has been living in Russia for a long time, spoke about the transfer of Shakhtar Donetsk midfielder Mykhailo Mudrik to Chelsea London for 100 million euros.
“Mudrik Chelsea was taken on the prospect, this year it will be difficult for them to compete for something. They take the players for the next year. Since they paid that kind of money for Mikhail, it means they thought he was worth it, maybe the agents did a good job. If he develops further and Chelsea trust him, then he can play.
In general, now the prices for players are such that 100 million is no longer considered some kind of exorbitant price, there are transfers and more expensive. Previously, buying for 10 million was considered something incredible, but now 15, and 20, and 50 million are not considered money, so there is nothing like that. Football has long been a business. And that kind of money doesn't matter as it used to," Metaratings quotes Kanchelskis.
